Pros

Excellent management. They treat their employees as employees and not as numbers. Tremendous career opportunities with many sectors and areas to get involved. NOV is committed to the community and to organizations that need some extra help.

Cons

Pay is a bit lower than other companies but the benefits are awesome. Be ready to ride the oil wave. As expected, things slow when oil prices are down.

Flawed system

Pros

Good for you, if you are in Top circle, or a Next Gen, an Intern, or if you have a family member, or you know some of the big bosses. Some say, the medical benefits are great. I don't value it that much. A few get top quality training, travelling opportunities and exposure. Others are left at the mercy of their managers.

Cons

The system is flawed. It was masked by profitable market all these years. Now it is becoming obvious to many. Biased career advancement, benefits, perks to selected employees. They are not based on merit, qualification or experience, but purely by who hired them, who run the department and whom they know.
